University of Maryland School of Nursing (UMSON) Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner 3 vs 4 year track

Published

Looking for advice on what track to take for my AG-ACNP program starting this fall. I'm deciding between the 3 year and 4 year track, with the 3 year having around 4 classes per semester vs the 4 year track of around 3 per semester. 

For background I work weekends only (sat & sun) in a med-surg ICU. I don't have any children and live with my SO and two cats. Do you think it's realistic to try and maintain my weekend position and pursue the 3 year track? I prefer the course progression of the 3 year track and obviously faster clear time, but I'm going back and forth. Thoughts?
